TcpOutSegs in tcp_mib not RFC1213 compliant?

Hi,

Quoted 1 line

From looking at net/ipv4/tcp_output.c, TcpOutSegs counts all

outgoing packets, including pure retransmits. This seems to contradict RFC 1213 (MIB-II):

tcpOutSegs OBJECT-TYPE
SYNTAX Counter
ACCESS read-only
STATUS mandatory

DESCRIPTION
"The total number of segments sent, including those on current connections but excluding those containing only retransmitted octets."
::= { tcp 11 }

Is that intentional or an oversight?
